Jeanette's got a bad case of Bieber fever

He's the Canadian teen sensation who has more followers on Twitter than anyone else on the planet – edging past the 34 million mark!

This week Justin Bieber bumped Lady Gaga off her perch as the micro blogging site’s most popular user.

So it’s no surprise excitement is gathering apace ahead of Justin’s two dates at the Manchester Arena among all you young’uns out there.

But one concert-goer planning to show the love to the 18-year-old is a bit older than Justin’s usual demographic. At the grand old age of 25, Jeanette Warren will be surrounded by pre-pubescent Beliebers.

Yet Jeanette, who has two tattoos dedicated to Justin, who turns 19 next month, is planning on doing more than singing along to Bieber hits.

Jeanette Warren - Justin Bieber superfan

The diehard fan, of Timperley, is planning a parade through the city centre on the day of the opening concert in Manchester – February 21. The parade party will be made up of fellow Beliebers who Jeanette’s met through Twitter, Facebook and picture messaging site, Instagram.

She says: “I became a Justin fan in 2010. I’ve always liked his music but became a superfan after watching Never Say Never, his concert movie.

“My Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts are all dedicated to him. I’ve had a rough few years since losing my job, but being a Belieber helps a lot.

“I’ve been working with three friends to organise the parade. We’re wearing our pyjamas to the concert as Justin wore his pjs to a few meet and greets in America.”

Really? Jeanette laughs at the Diary’s arched eyebrow: “No, we’re not crazy, we have Bieber Fever.”

Jeanette and friends will also be selling wristbands to raise money for a cancer charity Justin supports after one of his superfans died of the disease last year.

“During the parade, as well as dressing up, we will be singing Justin’s songs.

“I’ve never met him, and being a Belieber at 25 I do get a lot of criticism, but that doesn’t stop me loving and supporting him.” Good on you Jeanette!
